High School Students in PG County Walking Out of Classes to Protest Donald Trump: Reports

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — High schoolers across the county are reportedly walking out of their classes on Friday in protest of President-elect Donald Trump.

WTOP is reporting that 100 Suitland High School students left their classrooms, and so did students at Northwestern and Parkdale high schools, as well as 15 students from G. James Gholson Middle School in Hyattsville.

A video posted to social media shows students at Wise High School in Upper Marlboro protesting in the halls of the school. The video also shows an officer appearing to wrestle one of the students.

WJLA reported that some students were marching in a mall near National Harbor, and could be seen holding protest signs.

The protests are the latest in the D.C. area, with many more certain to come leading up to Inauguration Day on Jan. 20. Students across the country have staged walkouts to protest the election of Trump, who has been accused of being a sexist, racist and a xenophobe.
